Connect a Modbus TCP/IP Controller to a CompactLogix PLC

Get your Modbus TCP/IP Client Connected Directly to the Data Table of a CompactLogix PLC
The 460ETCMS moves data between a Modbus TCP/IP client device and up to 5 different CompactLogix PLC’s. It’s a simple tool to help you integrate low cost Modbus TCP/IP controllers into your CompactLogix Architecture.

Best of all the product is Made in the USA, is always in stock and comes with 5 year warranty.

How Does the Data Move In and Out of the PLC?
You allocate two areas of tags or register blocks in your CompactLogix PLC. One area is a user defined set of write only tags or register blocks accepting data from your Modbus TCP/IP device. The other area is full of read only tags or register blocks to send data to your Modbus TCP/IP device. You directly map Modbus TCP/IP register and coil data into read and write locations in the data table of your CompactLogix PLC.

It’s really that simple. Need to modify your data as it passes from one protocol to the other? No problem. Each data mapping you apply can be modified.

Why use Real Time Automation as a Gateway Supplier?
The 460ETCMS provides an option to access Modbus TCP/IP data without having to upgrade your PLC or get an expensive in rack solution. While there are certainly a number of other companies offering stand alone gateways, there is no one who provides the level of support and service that you receive from RTA.

When you call, a live person answers the phone. When you talk with sales, you will get honest answers and recommendations even if that means recommending someone else’s solution. When you get support, it is from an engineer who had a hand in the product’s development, and support doesn’t require a ticket or 24 hour wait. We are unashamed of the fact that we are a smaller company because that means you mean a lot more to us.

5 YEAR BETTER THAN INSURANCE WARRANTY: You will never have to blame the dog for eating your gateway.

You will have a partner and a product you can rely on for a long time.
